The Interstate Commission.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE president
has not yet fully determined to bar every
member of the present congress from place
on the interstate commission. He is very
anxious, however, to have the commission
confirmed by the senate before
the adjournment of congress. In
conversation to-day with Democrat who
went to urge the appointment of Senator
Conger, the president defined his position.
He said that it was not because Of consti-
tutional objections to the appointment of
members of the present congress that he
desired to hasten the job OF choosing COM
missioners, but he was anxious to have the
appointees confirmed before they began their
duties. He said that if he should
wait until after the adjournment of CON-
gress, tine appointeeS would have nine
months in service before the senate would
have an opportunity to pass upon the NOM
nations. In view of the Importance OF the
work which they viii! be called upon to
perform, he was anxious that the senate
which originated the law making their
appointments possible should be satisfied
with his selections. His caller assured the
president that nearly seventy of the men,
bers of the present senate would cordially
approve of the appointment of Senator
Conger, and that if his name should be sent
in it would be confirmed without referring
TO committee. He promised to give the
suggestion further consideration before
coming to final conclusion.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. ia very des-
perate and hotly contested fight came off
this morning in an uptown barn near Ger
mantoWn, between Dennis F. Butler,
the champion short-distance swimmer of
America, and John Reagan, of Kensington.
A purse of $500 was the stake and the time
was eight minutes The first round was
characterized by hard hitting, in which
Butler was badly punished and decidedly
worsted. In the second round Butler
knocked Reagan all about the ring. The
third round occupied only two minutes.
AT the beginning Reagan rushed upon But
Ter and hit him OH the arm. A foul was
claimed and there was some confusion.
The men got at it again and then Reagan
climaXed by giving Butler fearful butt in
the face. A foul was at once claimed by
Buffers friends and allowed, and the ref
cree gave the fight to Butler

storm and Flood Notes.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. Feb. 1.-THE
Maumee, st. Joseph and st. Mary's rivers
rose five feet last night, and the flood now
threatens to surpass the memorable one of
four years ago. A number of families re-
siding in the flooded district of the city have
removed to the upper stories of residences
or have abandoned them altogether. At
river points between Fort Wayne
and Toledo great distress is reported.
Many factories have shut down and
employees put to work surrounding
the works by dikes. The water is now
within foot of the floors of the principal
bridges, and the city must shortly be cut off
from communication by wagon roads from
the north. The river is now rising six
inches an hour, and rain is falling.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Northwestern
Lumberman, in its issue of tomorrow, will
print statistics as to the lumber trade for
the Northwest for 1886, with comparisons
with the product of former years. The
grand total of the white pine lumber pro-
duct Of the Northwest for 1886 was 1875 =
36S, 600 feet. This is $40, 900, 600 feet in
excess of the preceding year, and is only
slightly short of the total cut for the wears
1882, 1888 and 1884. The greatest gains
were in the older milling districts. The
grand total of the shingle product of the
Northwest was 4,577. .531, 900 shingles,
which is larger showing than in any pre-
ceding year. The figures are cited as show
ing that the maximum annual lumber pro-
duet of the white pine districts has probably
not yet been reached. The stock OF lumber
OH hand at the mills at the close of the year
is placed at 3,06S, 093, 900 feet, or ITO, 0OO,-
000 feet less than at the close of 1885, and
$50, 900, 900 feet less than in 1854. The
stocks of shingles were $4,000, 600 more
than in 1885, and 200, 900, 600 less than in

CANTON, O., Feb. 11.-One of the most
severe wind and rain storms that ever
visited Canton struck the city about s
O'Clock this morning, and lasted about half
an hour before it passed off. No serious
damage was done here but at Louisville.
five miles east, a cyclonic wave struck the
town with terrific force and did considerable
damage. The storm cloud came with an
ominous roar that thrilled the people with
fear. No one was hurt, but many people
were overcome with alarm. Fences and
trees were moved down like reeds, houses
were unroofed, shutters and gates torn
from their hinges window-glass broken and
chlmneys blown down. The slate roof of
the large Catholic church was badly shat
tered, and the roof of the convent school
adjoining was lifted off in all instant. Two
minutes of the roar and crash and the cy-
clone had gone on eastward in its mad
flight. In that brief interval people
crouched to the floor of their dwellings and
the ground in terror, while many were seen
kneeIing in prayer. The damage done the
town will amount to between $1,000 OF
$S 900.

Rivers Are ON the Rampage. and
the Winds Are Cyclonic


PITTsBURG. Pa, Feb. 11.-Twenty-four
hours steady rain has caused the Allegheny
and Monongahela rivers to rise rapidly, and
large stage of water at this point is looked
for within the next twenty-four hours.
River men, however, do not anticipate a
flood, as the weather is growing cold and the
rain has turned to snow. TelegramS from
points at the headwaters of the Allegheny
indicate serious condition of affairs. At
Oil City many houses in the lower part of
the city are flooded, and the residents are
moving to safer quarters. At Franklin
great damage has been done to the oil in
terests along the river by the
WASHING AWAY OF DERRICKs,
tracks, etc. Travel on the railroads has
been impeded by land slides, and the tracks
of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio
and the Lake Shore roads are under water.
A land slide on the latter road, just
above the city, carried the track from
the roadbed into French creek for distance
of 200 feet, and the passage of trains will
not be possible for two OF three days. In
this city there have been numerous land
slides along the railroads, which have de-
layed trains, but so far no accidents have
occurred. A Greensburg. Pa, special says:

trict the river was rising slowly and the
surrounding country was heavily inundated.
The cellars of houses in the southwestern
part that were flooded are worse off to-day
than they were yesterday, the surface
water of the heavy rain of last night having
poured in upon the overflow. Considerable
damage to property is reported ON Blue
Island avenue, from Eighteenth street to

adjacent TO the river banks. The overflow
at the docks of the Mccormick factory at
o'clock this morning measured little over
three feet. but it did not prevent the run

northeast section was more hopeful. The
rain was less general there, and the river

to-day, John Lind having arrived last
evening. He says he has no particular bus

information about legislation, study up
rules and get used to Washington boarding
house fare. Mr.. LIND was very cordially
greeted by Mr.. Nelson, who said the lonesome
representation of the Scandinavian element
in our population was now at a happy end.
The Democratic members of the del
egation are rapidly making acquaint-
ances among the leaders of this
side. Mr. Rice has secured private secre-
tary and gives nearly all his time to cor
reSpondence and business at the depart
ments He has been besieged with appli-
cations for pension claims. for Indian depre-
datlonS, land claims and every possible
form and variety of effort to make Uncle
Sam fork over. No member from Minnesota
ever had such work thrown on him before
his term had begun. and few are so well
able to stand it. Mr. Rice is so
THORoUGH-GOINGA AND PROMPT,
and makes so many strong friends wherever
he goes, that he is already making remark
able headway for his district. 1t is clear
that the president will transfer from the
Minnesota committee to her three
Democratic members all responsible

rate the Democrats of the state
have taken this view and are pouring in
applications in duplicate. Judge Wilson
finds little business from his district to com.

effect some headway for the Winona build
